It depends on your definition of "really comfortably". I live in Michigan, my family lives comfortably on about $20 per day per person.

Yeah, that's what some people here seem to miss.

4 person family living off of $120 dollars a day (or $80, someone mentioned a family spending $20 per person) and already owning a house is not the same as living alone with $30/day and not owning a house (especially in countries with a very high HDI and trying to live the aforementioned 'resort style living').

The amount I stated includes renting a house.

Then that's not bad I guess... I thought US was more expensive Smiley

Don't forget to show them (the Wikipedians) how much money you will have donated from Bitcoin users.

I tried to clear this up in an earlier post:

He claims you can live rather opulently.

Neither of us really know much about other places & the conversation started as "I hear you can live real good overseas for like, nothing."

I realize $1000 a month is a regular living to a lot of folk... but for this particular conversation,
Basically he is claiming resort style living is possible. Sipping drinks on the beach while some local bbq's him dinner and another gives him a foot rub kinda deal.

I was wondering how close to that you could realistically get.




seems like a long shot.. possibly if you owned a house and had $30 per day to live on, on top of the place to live.

At least get the loan denominated in USD.

Maybe you could ask someone to manage the money for you just in case you don't do anything stupid again?
3745  Other / Off-topic / Re: Where could someone comfortably live on $30 a day? on: November 28, 2012, 10:33:15 PM
That's $900 a month, you'll live with that comfortably to very comfortably in most ex-communist/ex-USSR countries.
In Ukraine the average wage is about $300; OTOH in Poland the avg wage is about $1000 (definitely enough if you live alone but might be difficult to support a family with this money in the capital city and ride a car (fuel is expensive and heavily taxed)).

That does not mean they don't/can't behave like a bank.

Weird.... Typed "We will not" twice in a row.

Probably after rewriting a sentence the guy forgot to reread what he wrote. Happens to me quite often.

Even if you knew who it was and had conclusive evidence that they were guilty, what exactly would you be able to do about it if they're in another country?

Pirateat40 lives in somebody's back yard, we know who he is, and nobody has collected a satoshi from him.  So what could be expected to come if someone were able to dig up some identity of somebody in Russia without any proof of guilt (knowing that even with proof of guilt, collection is unlikely)?

Ahh, Pirate Smiley
US is different from Russia where a scammer such as Pirate would be properly (or maybe a bit too severely but better than not at all) punished if the identity was known.
600 BTC might be enough for OP fly and bribe his way through to find the scammer (maybe with the help of the police after they have had received a generous tip).
3752  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: HELP, BITCOINS STOLEN - REWARD 600 Bitcoins or equivalent in Euro on: November 20, 2012, 09:27:41 PM
600 BTC (~$7000 at current rates) is a lot of money, I hope the thief made (or will make) some mistake along the way, I wish I could help but my knowledge of how the bitcoin/blockchain works is poor.
yep, for this bucks you can eventually get things moving even in russia^^.

I think the OP could try contacting the ISP or whoever administers that range of IP addresses (600 BTC is ca. 10x avg wage in Russia)

Ofcourse their is HUGE difference.
Thats why this same forum let a single person to scam half million Bitcoins which is half of the Bitcoins ever mined.
A single address holding half the coins mined.

"the one who successfully prepared sophisticated concept, mechanism and protocol of Bitcoin" -Pirateat40, who is a born scammer, made many scams before,
still, welcomed with RED carpet & given half the coins as GIFT.
10 million coins were mined. Half a million is 5%, not half.
Damn zeros always trouble me.

Weren't you Indians the ones that invented zero?

This is incredible. Yet another scammer makes it out alive with a lot of money.

Even when he has a million now... what can he do with it? Nothing now i think. Because when he will start to buy expensive cars and similar the tax-agency will come and ask wheres the money from. So at the moment he cant do anything with it. Maybe he will at some point move to another country and spend the money there. But at the moment he maybe is rich... but poor at the same moment.

Did you lose money to Pirate? (how much if it's ok to ask?)

DoS attacks are really easy against Tor hidden services. The service can't block the attacker because all clients are anonymous. Tor hidden service introduction points can sometimes also be DoS-attacked. I wouldn't use Tor to run a site like this.

What would you suggest? I2P, Freenet?
3760  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Would this work? on: November 10, 2012, 05:29:43 PM
So we know you pay for power.
I don't, but the owner of the house lets me see the bill.
A bit late, but if you actually want to pull something like this it would be better to tell the owner to give you $5 each month. That way you don't have to spend say $10 of the owner's money to get 80 cents of your own. Win-win!
